After reading this announcement, one of our current members has said that they will be sending us a $100 (USD) iTunes Gift Card to offer as a prize for a contest to help get the forum more active. Thank you very much for that.

Here is the deal on the contest.

The first 100 members to post 5 times (replies to current threads or posting new threads) on DiasporaForum.org will be entered for a chance to win the $100 iTunes Gift Card.

Internally, we will assign each of the 100 elgible members a number and we will use random.org to randomly choose a winning number. The winner will be contacted via private message (from me "KOH") on DiasporaForum.org and have 7 working days to reply to the private message with a valid mailing address. Once the winner has replied with the address, we will announce the winner's member name (screen name) in this post. The Gift card will be sent once the address is received.

If the first winner does not reply to the private message within 7 working days, they forfeit the prize and we will use random.org to randomly select a new winner. This will continue until a winner contacts us within 7 working days.

We reserve the right to cancel this contest at any time. The gift card will be sent to the mailing address provided by the winner. We are not responsible if the mail system loses the gift card and we will not send another since we only have one to send. The gift card is an iTunes gift card valued at $100 (USD). Odds of winning are 1 in 100. Not too shabby
